the countdown has begun.blogbetween now and when i leave for the best place on earth, my blog posts will probably be exlusively japanese themed due to insistent researching. well actually i'll probably keep making music related posts as i continue my search for the perfect afro/latin/italo/disco sound that i have whet my appetite for recently. anyway, without further ado, here is an advertisement showing just how cute and amaaaaazing japan can be. when we were last in tokyo the other kithkin boys and i sampled the selection available at mister donuts, very very nice. too nice. rings made up of little balls that felt amazing as they were bitten off one by one.... aaaanyway. the clip:topnext |

 Million Dollar TradersblogIf you didn't see the recent BBC series, million dollar traders its worth catchingon iplayer, not only to just reinforce the fact that city traders can be tossers. Its a simple concept, 1 investor gives eight people 1 million dollars to invest operating as a hedge fund. The timing of the series, by chance, coincides with the 'credit crunch', as the 8 try their hands trading for 2 months. Rather than jsut being some Sir Alan infested retake of the apprentice the selection of participants and the moral dilemmas encountered make this intriguing viewing. The participants choice of investment become extensions of their personality, one an ex soldier predictably invests in arms, whilst one woman who enjoys saving can't even handle taking the risk of placing a trade. Another, a computer programmer, struggles to come to terms with the organic nature of the financial markets, expecting investments to react in a static input output sense. Throughout the mini series there are questionable decisions justified with equally questionable reasoning, “It’s a bad world” and “If I don’t someone else will” Its odd how abstracted this whole thing is, people staring at screens watching numbers go up and down, numbers which are all interrelated and interlinked in a massive global system reactive to everything that is going on in the world. When walking away from your desk to get some cake looses you £5,000. “its like playing chess….with the world” http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00gsr4p topnext |
